Magna Carta Training Inc. has also provided ethics and values training and consulting services to the police community. Thousands of police officers have received ethics training from Magna Carta.

The company chose its name deliberately because of its association with one of the world's great charters, the Magna Carta signed in 1215 by King John of England. More precisely, the company's name was chosen because King John pledged on behalf of himself and his successors "to appoint as justices, constables, sheriffs, or other officials, only men that know the law of the realm and are minded to keep it well." Upon this pledge the rule of law has been built.
